Perfect spot during events.We have booked this place a couple of times now and continue to be happy with our investment. The only qualms were that the washer/dryer is a little small for 6 people and being that close to city center comes with some additional noise. Would highly recommend!

Perfect Spring Break
We absolutely loved Above the Crowd! It is in the perfect location to everything! Thankful for parking spots and being so close to the beach! The condo was beautifully decorated and felt so homey! We played their games and watched basketball in the family room. Loved having the outside deck to drink our coffee in the mornings and watch Seaside waking up! So many personal touches and we hopefully will be back! Thank you Above the Crowd!

Above seaside
Property was great. Everything was easy. I reports a window screen falling from third floor onto my car and leaving damage. I also reported other screens were about to fall. When I left, no repairs had been done to other screens and I guess nothing to be done regarding damage to my car. This was in the provided parking spot.
